Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

Torus Group commissioned engineering inspection and insurance cover as a combined services requirement. The insurance element is classified under CPV 66510000, covering insurance services, while the description also identifies engineering inspection as part of the scope. Delivery is in the North West of England, for the buyer’s operations and assets in that area. This is a specialist risk, compliance and inspection service rather than a general insurance purchase. The selected supplier, Zurich Insurance Company (U.K.) Limited, is a large insurance organisation. Businesses considering similar work should therefore have the ability to combine engineering inspection capability with suitable commercial insurance provision for a housing or property group.

The procurement has been completed and the contract was awarded to Zurich Insurance Company (U.K.) Limited on 17 April 2026. The awarded value is £54,090. The contract period runs from 25 April 2026 to 27 November 2026. The tender submission deadline was 10 April 2026. Torus Group was the buyer, and the requirement was procured as a services contract. The tender is recorded as complete, and the award is active. The opportunity was marked as unsuitable for small and medium-sized enterprises and for voluntary, community or social enterprises. The award was made to one supplier; the published award value is the value for that supplier and has not been combined with any other award.

This award demonstrates demand for a supplier able to deliver both engineering inspection and insurance cover under one arrangement for a housing and property organisation. A credible future competitor would need established insurance-market capacity, the ability to assess and manage engineering-related risks, and operational systems for arranging inspections, maintaining records and reporting findings. Experience supporting substantial property portfolios or other public, housing or asset-intensive organisations would strengthen a supplier’s position. The buyer selected a large insurance company, so competitors should be prepared to demonstrate comparable financial standing, claims-handling capability, technical inspection expertise and reliable service management. The requirement was not marked as suitable for SMEs or voluntary, community and social enterprises.
